“That is the million-dollar question. I think there are things that need to be said and need to be discussed on every album, depending on what we’ve experienced. So I have to take what needs to be discussed and put it with the other organic things that no one can predict. Somebody could send a beat and it triggers something in you. Last night I had that experience. I got a few beats and it triggered something in me that I haven’t felt since Pink Friday. There was something that felt so magic and genuine about what was happening. Every time I think I know what this album is going to sound like, there’s a little magic that happens. It takes me down a different path and shows me something about myself and I just follow it.”
